Chapter # 6 ( What is Transistor ? )

The invention of transistor played a wide role in evolution of computers because, transistor is a semi-conductor device.

In 1939, William Shockley, Walter Brattaid and John Bardeen invented the might invention of the "TRANSISTOR" in Bill Laboratories. (look at the picture.)

Transistor is a semi-conductor device which, works like a electricity switch is too much better than Vaccume Tubes. Transistor consumes a little amount of electricity and the computers that are being built with transistor technology are also in small size as compared of Vaccume Tubes computers.

In fact, that was the only transistor, by which smaller sized computer had been built by different companies. Today laptop computers which are too smaller in size as compared to others are also faster in speed and runs with a battery system and consumes a little amount of electricity voltage.
